Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 620

Despite Hattie's reassurances, Alivia remained skeptical.

"I'll stay with you for a few days until Lena gets back. Then Mandy and I will leave," Alivia insisted.

"Mandy, aren't you supposed to be at boot camp? Your dad mentioned you got into the University of Melbourne," Hattie asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I have a medical excuse, so no boot camp for me," Mandy declared confidently.

Hattie shook her head, seeing right through Mandy's excuse to dodge the training.

"Mom, since you want to stay, I'll take you over there," Hattie offered.

"Josie, you must be exhausted. Go ahead and take a shower and rest. I'll take Grandma and the others next door," Hattie suggested.

Living together was simply out of the question.

Alivia was adamant about staying, and Josefina, wanting to avoid any unnecessary conflict, took the elevator to shower and change.

Josefina's actions, however, did not sit well with Alivia.

"Can you believe her? She's nothing compared to Lena!" Alivia huffed.

"Mom, if staying here is upsetting you, I can take you back home, alright?" Hattie offered.

Alivia fell silent. Going back was not an option; she had come and had no intention of leaving.

...

After her shower, Josefina sat down in the kitchen for a meal. Annika served her a bowl of clam dumplings, a tapioca pudding, and added some fried eggplant and fried chicken to the spread.

"Annika, this is too much. I can't eat all of this. Come, sit. Let's eat together," Josefina said.

Annika sat down but didn't eat, whispering, "Ms. Josefina, I don't think those two will let this go easily. If it comes to it, maybe you should find a ventriloquist to call the old lady?"
